(paddy field at the roadside,not far from my home)
i guess this picture does not mean a lot to you,but in my family we talk about it nearly everyday and especially the older generation always express their humbleness and sense of gratitude to this broad and wide food sources.as much as you know, in Malaysia,much of his citizen depends on rice as their main cuisines.
massive production of this grains increasing every single year and now this paddy plantation is heading it's own new era in ways of processing method and introducing new much more efficient technique to ensure peoples satisfaction.
when the older chats about the paddy quite often on how did they endured such pains and agony just to make a living for their family,we (the younger generation),talks back by saying those was 40-50 years ago grandpa,we do not talk that matters anymore now-days.yes we can say that and actually i did the same thing to them until few hours later,all my expectation and my opinion transformed by their epic.
while we are chatting and smoking,came this old lady and she sat next to fariz (my friend) without saying a word.she pointed her skinny finger towards a crappy old and messy shack in front of us.the old man who was we arguing just now began to smile cynically.below is this crappy old shack.(its gone already.had been teared up apart.)
(creepy old shack that had been demolished)
now she began to talk.backthen when her age was about 9,her parent seemed so eager to taught her how to start working at the field.there was no school,no future for her except to work like everybody else.paddy planting is listed to be her only option on those day and one more,rubber tapping.but tapping is not a truly option back in the days due to the uncertainty market price and much more.that was nothing to be compared when the next story came by.she start to unveil her hardships and pains working as a paddy planter 50 years ago and it's really struck us (the youngsters) hard.
'women was considered as a problem,and will burden their man if they don't work hard enough.'she says. through all that,she somehow manage to improvise her work and her task as a mother.she is a truly amazing woman for me.she added,"7 a.m had gone to the field already but the breakfast was already prepared, come back and hurrying before 11 a.m to cook lunch and go back to work before 2 p.m,and finish working at 6.30 p.m and for your information,my path to work is about 4 mile.'she smiled.
p/s-she's cool and seemed so calm.
just want to express what is on my mind,jotting my journals of life and my opinions through out the world!.

modern game console versus traditional outdoor games..
i was in my cousin's home just few hours ago.scanning all over his rooms (not for any bad intention) and all that, and not after a moments spending time and chatting along with all my relatives my view catches this two young boys within the 2-3 meters range from the television was playing a current game console and out of sudden i began to remembering the glory era our our Malaysian traditional games.
yes i know the difference between these two opposition games that have such huge gap and is too much to talk about. but,we will be regret later on to discover our traditional values especially the Malaysian tradition will vanished sooner or later if this actions goes on.in my life,i had never seen parents motivation or to be exact their spirit in sake to introduce this traditional games on their children minds.when i sat near those kids,i had asked them one simple question,'hey.. what are you playing?ever thinking about playing tops? or kites?',and so these kids answered,'uh..no.we do not know how to play them.'.simple question from me is answered within seconds.
i had been watching them playing for approximately 30 minutes and began to roll my cigarettes.next to me is a cup of tea nearly turn cold and after a few sips,i began to smoke.asking them for more this time,'what kind of game is that?,seems so harsh and unforgiving",and they said,'well,we are in zombie killing spree,so we had to shot them '.'you do not afraid?',i added,and he said back fasts,'no.we enjoyed it!'.frankly,i was amazed.
its been a while watching their emotionally hands on those joysticks,and i was knocked again by the pastime memory when i was a kid about 12 years ago.back then,we don't have any fancy game console to play with.it's all about enjoying wonderful outdoor games!.my age was 9 year old when i bought my first tops.it costs about 40 cent,but for me that was a 40 cent of major enjoyment!.for the money i paid,i got 1 top,and a tangled lace.this lace is used as mechanism to operate the tops.this 3/4 oval liked shape had a 2 inch nail over the bottom striking at the center of the tops.
how to play them?.it was quite easy to play it with the nail went down-sided,but it was quite tricky when you want to play with it's nail went upside.not to be cocky,but i had mastered the skill in just few weeks of time. it was so cool,and when the other kids watched me throwing my tops,they just went amazed. that's was the truly definition of games for me. you played it,you got to feel it,and you can hold it forever as you want it as your remembrance that once upon a time ago,you was just a kid!.
p/s-those two kiddos was good.real good.damn!

after a moments in the water,i can see and feel natures bond inside of me and somehow the aroma and atmosphere had gone deep in my soul and made sense of appreciation for natures we inherited for many-many years.

the upside down-start..
We will see one day,the breaking down will soon appear if we took this matter for granted.in this competitive era we facing in,the phrase 'kill or be killed' suits well.its only a matter of time before things goes out of hands and when that moments was there,it will be too late.
Exactly now,we are shifting along in this world and we need new of methods in handling delicately regarding this current affairs.enhancing the persona will reflects the true virtue and etiquette.this demanding great efforts and of course it will come with a price,that is an unsecured position in the future.but with love and trust given we just cannot see our nation or others shattered because of 'bribery'.
it goes for so many years and yet we still ignored this 'cancer' like a fool.we want to ensure our mankind survival is the fittest among the fittest and we cannot see this microscopic germs has spread out of controls among us and tears our flesh inside and already on the way out.bribery is not a small problem,it isn't. this virus to be exact can crippled or worse paralyzed our beloved nation.this fit the sentence 'the higher you go,the harder you fall'.
